We solve, by means of a nested coordinate Bethe ansatz, the open-boundariesscattering theory describing the excitations of a free open string propagatingin AdS5 × S5, carrying large angular momentum J = J_{56}, and ending on amaximal giant graviton whose angular momentum is in the same plane. Wethus obtain the all-loop Bethe equations describing the spectrum, for J, finitebut large, of the energies of such strings, or equivalently, on the gauge side ofthe AdS/CFT correspondence, the anomalous dimensions of certain operatorsbuilt using the tensor of SU(N). We also give the Bethe equations forstrings ending on a probe D7-brane, corresponding to meson-like operators inan N = 2 gauge theory with fundamental matter.
